Tread is good

Had new Kumho Ecsta MXs put on the car yesterday. After seven or eight autocrosses (and only 5000 miles), the Yokohama A046s were worn down to very little tread. Lucky for me the weather has been so nice the past few days, because driving in the rain would have been rather exciting. Also, had Auto Innovations do a custom alignment job to improve the car’s steering and handling.

I’ve been doing “okay” at autocross; still learning to make the car go exactly where I want it, and still learning where exactly I need to go—following the right lines, applying the right amount of acceleration and braking for the various parts of the course, and so on.

I installed a camera mount for my Canon DV camcorder in the back of the car, and also a small camera on the rearview mirror stem, to record my autocrossing adventures. Here are a few of my videos:
